Rahat Fateh Ali Khan Sets New Milestone with Sold-Out UK Tour
Renowned Qawwali singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has broken attendance records with his electrifying performances during the Legacy of the Khans 2025 Tour in the United Kingdom. Drawing nearly 12,000 fans at London’s iconic Wembley OVO Arena alone, the celebrated artist reaffirmed his legacy as the global face of Qawwali and Sufi music.
A Triumphant Return to the UK
After a two-year break, Rahat returned to the UK stage with performances in Birmingham, London, and Manchester. The London show, held at one of the city’s largest indoor venues, became the highlight of the tour. Fans of all ages packed the stadium, singing and dancing to his soulful melodies and timeless classics.
The shows were part of a collaboration with Vijay Bhola, the founder of Rock On Music. Bhola praised Rahat’s magnetic presence and dedication to his craft. “It’s the artist who brings the audience,” he said. “Rahat continues to win hearts around the world with his unmatched voice and devotion to music.”
Spotlight on Shah Zaman Ali Khan
For the first time, Rahat’s son, Shah Zaman Ali Khan, shared the stage at such a massive venue. The 20-year-old delivered five solo Qawwalis, immediately winning applause and admiration. His powerful vocals and stage presence reminded many of his great-uncle, the legendary Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
Rahat expressed pride in his son’s debut, calling it an emotional moment. “People loved him and kept asking for more of Nusrat Sahib’s qawwalis and ghazals. Shah Zaman has a voice that brings back memories of the legends. God willing, he will carry our family’s musical legacy forward,” he said.
